Increasing y

Definition

When we say that y is increasing, it means that the y-coordinate of a point or particle's position is getting larger as time goes on.

Gradient vector: The gradient vector points in the direction of steepest increase for a scalar function. In this case, it would indicate the direction with maximum increase in y.

Dot product: The dot product between two vectors can help determine if they are pointing in similar directions or opposite directions.

Velocity vector: The velocity vector represents how quickly an object is changing its position over time and can give insight into whether the particle is moving along increasing or decreasing y-values.
